MDDLETowN. N. Y, Dec. 1.-THE pioneer
association Of tho many now existing through
out the country for the mutual protection Of
members against horse stealing is undoubted-
ly the Mount Hope Vieilant Society for the De-
lection Of Horse Thieves. which yesterday held
its seventy-flrst annual meeting for tho cleo
ton Of officers and other business. The origin
of the society dates back to the period imme-
diately succeeding the war of 1924. whom
horses were scarce and high priced, and whom
there was q ~well-oreanized and formidable
band Of horse thieves. with their headquarters
in the Minisink country. and with confeder-
ates and stations at different points all the
way from Canada to Virginia. Although the
crime was never judicially brought home to
them. and they are long since dead. tradition
even at this day names certain prominent and
well-to-do citizens Of Orange and Sussex coun-
ties then living who were moving spirits In the
band. and who. while not actually taking part

went into q common treasury, and were divided
according to some i1ed system among the
members OF tho band.
In the days before the construction Of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal and the Erie Rail-
road the village OF Mount Hope. from which
the YtGilant Society takes its name. and which
is still It's headquarters, was the principal town
in tho Minislnk country, west Of the Waikiki
River. When the depredations OF the horse
thieving band had grown to DO intolerable the
principal horse owners OF the region assem-
bled In the town and effected An. organization
for mutual protection. The articles Of ~associa-
ton were drawn by Joseph Chattle, then
a conspicuous member OF the Orange
county bar. and who was for many years after-
ward secretary of the society. 1t was due to

driven out Of the country. Nc member Of ths
society has suffered tho loss OF Q horse by theft
since the date Of its organization. 1t Is true
that during the first years Of Its existence O
number Of horses belonging to members were
stolen from time to time. but In every case the
hot and relentless chase made by the society's
"pursuers' resulted In ovsrhauling the thieves
and recovering the property. In fact. the ex;
perience OF this most useful society. and OF all
others patterned after 1t. is that they inspire a
wholesome fear and caution that affords their
members almost entire. immunity from tho
depredations OF horse thieves.

Wide Di1ereaco OF Opinion In the Pennsyl.

HARRISBURG, Dec. 1.-THE efforts Of the
managers Of the State Grange Patrons Of Hus-
bandry Of this State to antagonize President
Cloveiand's economic ideas, as expressed In
his lato annual message, seems to have had An
unfortunate effect IN the organization. The
custom has been to allow the Master, the Hon.
Leonard Rhone. and the Secretary, Col. R. H.
Thomas. to voice the sentiments Of the order
on all questions of this kind. Both these gen.
tlemsn are strong pro%tectionists. Rhone is q
Democratic member OF the Legislature. and
Thomas an aspiring Republican, who has his
eyes fixed on the chair Of tho Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor. But on the tariff question they think
alike. and they came to the State Convention
charged to the muzzle with opposition to the
President. They made no concealmsnt Of
their infection to promulgate q decisive and
emphatic rebuke.
The President delivered his address on tho
evening Of the first days session. and 1t was
b~ristling with his views on protection. But .
difference OF opinion was at once disclosed,
serted themselves at once. and the Master and
